In all of this, I want a word. One word that isn't part of the screaming and crying that'll spring to the front of the girl's mind as the way to tell me something's seriously wrong and that will cut right through to me to let me know there's something wrong.

I won't react to "Ow, ow, ow!", I'm expecting that. I may not immediately hear "My hand hurts!", but a part of me is listening for that safeword all the time and tuned to immediately protect when I hear it.
Okie dokie, artichokie! I can honestly say nothing like that has ever happened to me, but there's a first time for everything. My punishments usually sound more like "But, Daddy, I forgot..." (please don't spank me) and "No, Daddy, PLEASE..." (ow ow ow). *ggls* I'm pretty sure if Daddy heard me scream "RED" instead of "DAMMIT," he'd stop.
